The present invention includes compositions and methods of for treating plants infected with fungal pathogens by contacting an infected plant or plant at risk of infection with a fungicidal composition comprising an fungicide selected from copper compound such as copper octanoate or copper hydroxide, or a triazole fungicide such as myclobutanil, propiconazole, tebuconazole or epoxiconazole, an enhancer selected from apyrase inhibitors, e.g., N-(m-toly1)-[1, 1′-biphenyl]-4-sulfonamide, S-heptyl 2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbothioate, 3-(N-(4-bromophenyl) sulfamoyl)-N-(3-nitrophenyl) benzamide, or (E)-3-methyl-N-(1-(naphthalen-2-yl) ethylidene) benzohydrazide and, optionally, a phytologically-acceptable inert carrier.

Described herein are compounds of Formulas I-XIII and agrochemically acceptable salts thereof having herbicidal and fungicidal activity. Also disclosed herein are herbicidal and fungicidal compositions, including compounds of Formula I-XIII or agrochemically acceptable salts thereof, and methods of controlling unwanted vegetation or fungus using compositions including the compound of Formula I-XIII or an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention relates to agricultural compositions containing dicarboxylic acid hydrazides and transition metal ions, and the preparation thereof. The compositions are useful in the treatments of plants or seeds as an anti-sprout agent, growth regulator and/or pest control agent. In particular, it relates to maleic hydrazide combined with copper, nickel, manganese, iron or zinc. The transition metal ions improve the storage stability of the dicarboxylic acid hydrazide and prevent generation of free hydrazine.
